You look back at them, keeping your cool (of course!). Slowly, over what feels like an hour (but really is just half a second) you realize that you just missed your cue.

Learn your lines by recalling them, not rereading them. Nemolines is a script memorizer built for actors. Bring in your sides, then strip away the words until only the cues remain. First letters tell you where you are. The line still has to come from you. FOUR WAYS TO LEARN Read. Move between the full script and its first-letter skeleton in one tap. Flash. One letter, one word, one beat at a time. You supply the word before the next beat lands. Recite. Say the line from memory and Nemolines follows your place phrase by phrase, moving when it hears the words land. Part of Nemolines Plus. Prompter. Run the whole script in full text or first letters. With Plus, the prompter can follow your voice instead of making you follow a fixed scroll. CORAL CADENCE Flash can run on a steady metronome pulse. Set the tempo between drills, then recall on the beat. No rhythm game, no pattern to learn. Just a pace that keeps you moving. GET YOUR SIDES IN Paste text. Import PDF, Markdown or plain text. Speak your lines into Transcribe, or share a saved video or voice note and turn the speech into a drillable script. Nemolines can also scan printed sides with the camera. Every import lands in the editor before you save it. BUILT FOR ACTORS, NOT CONTENT No AI reader voices. No self-tape recorder. No streaks, badges or reminders. Nemolines is for the part before performance: getting the words into your head. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No analytics. No Nemolines server. Speech recognition and camera text recognition happen on your iPhone. Your scripts stay on your device, with optional iCloud sync in Plus. START FREE. PLUS ONCE. The free tier keeps one script at a time and includes three transcription captures. Nemolines Plus adds Recite, voice-follow Prompter, camera scanning, unlimited scripts, unlimited transcription captures, iCloud sync, cue sheet PDF export, sound palettes, accent colours and matching app icons. One purchase. No subscription. Nemolines opens with "To be, or not to be" already loaded, so you can try a drill before importing anything.
